N'Golo Kante

[markbmcfc]

Really don't see Kante as a Pep player.

He's not a fan of players than run all over the shop. He wants players to stick to positions and move the ball rather than run and chase. If players hold position, they don't need to chase to win it back they just need to press in numbers. Not saying Kante is just a dog on heat that runs everywhere, but thus far in his career, Pep hasn't used a player like him.

It's explained very well in Pep Confidential.

You're right and Henry said as much when giving his views on Pep's philosophy. Its all about discipline in the first two thirds of the pitch and keeping shape and positions. The last third is where players have more freedom but Kante is a bit of a headless chicken. Bags of energy but not great on the ball and passing could be better

Kante was arguably the best player in the league last season but don't see Pep getting him. Afraid we'll lose out to either Chelsea or Arsenal...

Really hope he, Mahrez and Vardy stay with Leicester for another season. Want to see them give the champions league a good go.

I think he might have been the best player as well. I've heard PSG are after him. I would love him to go there rather than him helping someone else here.

must buy imo.

United will go get him and we'll regret it.

Good game. He even passed quite well. Looks a bargain for the claimed price tag.

Payet was the best player in the league. Mahrez was the best Leicester player. Yes I recognize Kante was a monster pest. But he didn't come close to those 2.

That's said, I'm willing to make an exception for Payet's age.vhw is a fantastic player. And this is not an abberation. Mahrez might be. As ice seen him for Algeria and he is not 'all world.' Payet on the other hand has been unplayable anywhere and everywhere.

When has he not passed well?

United haven't even been linked with him, have they?
